But all handling of full and empty cylinders happens outside the store.<br /><br />These signs are not attempts to ban any handling of propane cylinders on the premises.<br /><br />The signs are part of a set of rules intended to keep people from bringing potentially-non-empty, potentially-leaky propane cylinders inside a building.SJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12043843405366080460noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2807403883562053852.post-39400044442207105702021-09-03T07:27:39.649-06:002021-09-03T07:27:39.649-06:00Do not leave a bath tub in your home.

Might be a tossup if you were talking about most black powder muzzle stuffers.Mr. Engineering Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14836082448388766212noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2807403883562053852.post-24520918086279144312021-09-02T17:12:04.937-06:002021-09-02T17:12:04.937-06:00Not very trite, but compare it to "no smoking...Not very trite, but compare it to "no smoking" signs at gas stations.
